Robo Adventures - XY Scrolling Platformer By @23Scratchman #Camera #Scrolling #Games -------------------------------------------------- This game shows off the incredible feature of the cinematic independent camera, where the camera is able to view anything, instead of constantly following the player. It truly is an amazing thing, and to my extent, I have not seen many scratch projects take advantage of this. (Granted nowadays every platformer looks the same) I haven't shared a project in a long time, so don't you dare be disappointed- ------------------------------------------------------ Instructions Arrow Keys / WASD - Move Space - Double Jump when falling Avoid enemies Collect each shard Click the menu buttons -------------------------------------------------------- More about the camera: I have touched on the idea of the independent camera in scratch games. If you can remember, some games I touched on this were ~ Super Mario Odyssey 2D | Cascade Kingdom ~ Just A Boss Battle 2 ~ Paper Glider Though I barely used to it for much, and over complicated it. In Robo Adventures, you can trigger a cutscene using a single custom block, namely, the "TRIGGER Cutscene X1 Y1 X2 Y2" Block All I do to trigger a cutscene, is place the X and Y position of the first point, and then the second point, and the camera will go to the first point, and smoothly zoom over to the next, resulting in a beautiful cinematic shot. This can be used for SO many things, in this game I used it for: ~ Previewing the level ~ Previewing each shard ~ Collecting a Key and opening the door ~ Collecting 8 red coins, and previewing the shard But there are SO many more ways to use this feature! ------------------------------------------------------ Other stuff about the Game: This game took some inspiration from Super Mario 64, where you can collect stars (shards) in any order, in one giant level. Then, after getting the star, you get sent back to the start, and can try and get another star, completing another task. It makes for one giant level to play and feel like many levels, all in one! ------------------------------------------------------ Credits Sounds Used Mario SFX Undertale SFX SMG Galaxy Preview SFX SM64 Intro cutscene music SMG OST - Starshine Beach All Art 100% --------------------------------------------------------------- Tags --------------------------------------------------------------- Hope you enjoy! ~
